Jeremy..You are so right! Who cares what kind of airplane it was or where they were on Mother Earth...the bottom line is the PIC made the "Ditch" and did a damn good job! I don't care how or where you land....if everybody walks off alive...it's a good landing!

On 27 November 2012 an Inter Iles Air Embraer EMB 120ER Brasilia (registration number D6-HUA) was underway from Moroni to Anjouan (both in Comores Islands) on a charter flight with 25 passengers and 4 crew, when after taking off from Moroni's Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport it lost height, and while attempting to return to the airport, waterlanded 200 meters off the coast, about 5 km north of the airport. Local fishermen rescued everybody on board. There were only minor injuries.[21]
